Any insight or pictures of the handle bars with a similar "turkey lever" set up would be great!
Thanks again!
I took the turkey levers off my Fuji Supreme, with a screw driver and a hacksaw to remove a small protrusion. Then I took the levers off the handlebar and put brake hoods on them (very patiently...).

These should fit your bike. You should be able to lift the hood a little to get the bar tape under it. Be careful though... the fit may be tight and there is a risk of tearing a hood. I just wrapped the bar tape as close as I could.
